House panel approves antiwar amendment in foreign aid
The House Foreign Affairs Committee, breaking with the administration, backed an antiwar amendment to the foreign aid bill calling for a U S withdrawal by Oct 1 and a limited cease fire. The 18 to 17 vote tied conditions to prisoner releases and safe troop withdrawal. Nixon proposed four months after prisoners return with an international cease fire. Doves argue the plan risks South Vietnam veto and North Vietnam rejection.

Ouster blamed on Soviet refusal to share secret weapons
A diplomatic source in London says the Soviet Union refused to supply Egypt with its latest secret weapons, fearing they would reach Israel or the West and trigger a broader conflict. Anwar Sadat blames Moscow for the ouster of Soviet experts, citing risks of arms falling into enemy hands and U.S. confrontation in the Middle East. The report notes Egypt received vast arms that remain underutilized, including MIG jets, SAM missiles, and long-range bombers, amid past losses to Israel.

Agnew suspects politics in end the war move
Vice President Spiro Agnew, on the last day of a western campaign swing in Spokane, charged Senate action on an end the war amendment was politically motivated and irresponsible. He predicted a similar amendment would reappear before November, and spoke at a fund‑raising dinner asserting America remains a good country despite critics. He also decried what he called a “mischief” by some Senators and criticized their supposed superiority over the President.
